And the very second that the 20% CNET deal expired the price of a 256 DDR stick dropped from around $95 to about $88. Like many of Crucials specials, that extra 10% was built into the price of the memory to lead people into believing they were getting a better deal. The price now with the standard 10% off "web promo" price is almost exactly the same down to the penny as it was 24 hours ago when the 20% off was still valid.
